Or even, thanks to Simon Urbanek, from CRAN or your preferred CRAN mirror 
(since early this morning CEST)? Simon has very generously provided 
facilities for building within CRAN, so that we hope that we will be able 
to retire the CRAN Extras binaries once we are sure that things function 
as they should.

For OSX users needing drivers not provided in the CRAN build, the option 
of using the Kyngchaos frameworks remains; the CRAN binary is statically 
linked and self-contained, but has effectively only a similar set of 
drivers to the CRAN Windows binary package.
